Wildfire Risk Reduction Task Force Wildfire Risk Reduction Task Force Working Together to Reduce the Risk of Wildfire in Jefferson County November 10, 2020 1 INTRODUCTION Jefferson County’s mountain communities offer majestic views, endless hiking trails and wildlife. It’s no wonder people are called to Evergreen, Conifer and Pine to live, work, and enjoy the great outdoors. However, population growth, climate change and topography all contribute to a growing threat to this idyllic way of life: catastrophic wildfire. Elephant Butte, Buffalo Creek, Lower North Fork, Hayman and High Meadow are sobering reminders of the destruction and cost of wildfires in Jefferson County. This summer has been no exception. Damage estimates, which contain the four largest wildfires in Colorado, are upwards of $77 million (and those estimates don’t include the recent East Troublesome fire in Grand County). Those costs include aircraft, heavy equipment, firefighters, supplies and other personnel. But the expenses don’t end there. The price tag of structural damage is unknown at this time. Communities ravaged by these fires will see costs rise due to economic losses from decreased tourism, damage to watersheds, ecosystem restoration, flood prevention efforts, medical costs associated with bad air quality, and more. However, the value of one’s life is incalculable. Since 2000, Colorado wildfires have killed eight residents and 12 firefighters, and destroyed nearly 1,800 homes, according to Wildfire Today. Experts say rebuilding a community after a devastating wildfire will likely take longer and cost more – especially during a pandemic. Interrupted supply chains, delayed delivery of building materials, and limited labor create major barriers. In Oregon, where fires have burned one million acres, a county commissioner described the destroyed lakeside community of Detroit, Oregon as “a warzone.” It was one of the hardest hit communities with more than 70 percent of businesses, public buildings (including city hall), and homes destroyed by wildfire. Public utilities have been wiped out. It’s not if, but when Jefferson County will see its next major wildland fire. The concern was underscored as the Elephant Butte fire raged on July 13 until it was fully contained by July 22. The Sheriff’s Office sent evacuation notices to 1,000 homes and two popular Jefferson County Open Space parks were temporarily closed. Thanks to favorable weather and the back-breaking work of hundreds of firefighters – lives, homes and businesses were spared saving about $48 million in potential property damages, the Jefferson County Assessor estimates. Jefferson County ranks number one in Colorado in terms of the number of homes in high and extreme wildfire risk areas, according to Verisk/ISO Stateline Report – with Evergreen and Conifer ranking among the highest risk areas1. That’s higher than communities such as Sonoma County, Butte County or Shasta County – all of which saw major wildfire destruction in 2017-2018. The impact of a 100,000-acre wildfire in west Jefferson County could result in the evacuation of 60,000 people; the destruction of 10,000 homes and 100 businesses; and an estimated minimum of $5 billion 1 2015 Corelogic Report 2 in losses2. The county’s topography, dense conifer forests, dry weather and an abundance of lightning strikes drive wildfire risk. Investment upfront in mitigation and community education can save lives, property and firefighting costs later. That’s why the Board of County Commissioners last year approved the creation of the Jefferson County Wildfire Risk Reduction Task Force. The goal is to create a more resilient environment that keeps residents and visitors safe by reducing the density of trees and materials on the forest floor – like dead pinecones, pine needles, leaves and branches – that provide fuel for wildfires. While long-term efforts are underway countywide to reduce wildfire risk, questions remain as the county and fire rescue districts face limited resources and other challenges: • How do we enhance collaboration between the county and wildfire stakeholders in an environment of finite resources? • What will ramping up the pace and scale of wildfire mitigation efforts cost, and how will we collectively prioritize and pay for those efforts? • What is the role of county government in this effort? What is Jefferson County doing to reduce wildfire risk and where are the gaps? What can we learn from other counties? • In what ways can the county work even more effectively with our partners to raise greater awareness about wildfire risk and mitigation? Key to this work is the role the county plays in convening conversations to explore these and other questions in more depth as well as helping to advance wildfire risk reduction efforts already underway. The task force is made up of 31 members and chaired by Commissioner Lesley Dahlkemper, who has the majority of the Wildfire Hazard Overlay District in her district. Members represent leaders in our community, fire rescue districts, county government, law enforcement, business, forestry, water districts, and others – as well as geographic diversity. Task force meetings are coordinated by the commissioners’ Chief of Staff Deborah Churchill. 2 Based on fire modelling by Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control for Evergreen Fire Rescue and analysis using GIS of the affected areas. 3 BACKGROUND After in-depth discussion and a prioritization process, task force members identified three goals for year one (2019-2020): • Mitigation • Community education (to raise awareness about mitigation) • Revenue streams (to fund more mitigation) Task force members then self-selected into one of three workings groups to dig deeper into priority areas and met monthly from November 2019 to October 2020. While these three areas were identified by the task force for 2020-2021, other issues such as fire suppression, evacuation routes and emergency notice also were raised. While COVID-19 prevented the task force from meeting for three months in the spring, members worked diligently over the summer to finalize recommendations after conducting a high-level inventory of current resources and identifying gaps. In addition, they factored in information from presentations by Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control, Chief of Staff Melissa Lineberger on the Colorado Fire Commission’s work and Erika Roberts, Emergency Management Team, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Jefferson County on hazard mitigation planning. Lesley Dahlkemper, Commissioner and Task Force Chair Jeff Shrader, Sheriff Ray Fleer, Emergency Management Task force meetings included public comment and a Aaron Betcher, Emergency Management standing invitation list of other stakeholders, including: Kate Newman, Deputy County Manager • Becky Baker, Building Safety Director, Jeanie Rossillon, Development & Transportation Director • Chris O’Keefe, Planning & Zoning Director Liaison, Senator Michael Bennet Tom Hoby, Parks Director • Liaison, Senator Cory Gardner Jerry Bader, Natural Resources Lead, Parks • Lisa Cutter, State Representative Julie Story, Public Affairs Director • Liaison, Congressman Joe Neguse Brian Banks, U.S. Forest Service Allan Gallamore, Colorado State Forest Service • Liaison, Congressman Ed Perlmutter Garrett Stephens, Jefferson Conservation District • Liaison, Xcel Energy Mike Weege, Chief, Evergreen Fire • Pat O’Connell, engineering geologist Jacob Ware, Chief, Elk Creek Curt Rogers, Chief, North Fork Fire • Liaison, Jeffco Public Health Skip Shirlaw, Chief, Inter-Canyon Fire • Bret Roller, Rolling R Ranch Company Damian DiFeo, Chief, Golden Gate Fire • Tammy Story, State Senator Paul Amundson, Captain, Evergreen Fire • Fire chiefs from all mountain fire districts Mike Fassula, Fire Captain, Indian Hills Fire Rescue Jim King, Fire Marshal, Evergreen Fire • Fire chiefs from municipalities Alicia Welch, Chief, City of Golden Leif Carlson, Citizen Appointment What follows next are recommendations from task force Cynthia Latham, Community Leader Appointment members and the working groups on which they served. In Michele Robbins, Community Leader Appointment Nancy Balter, Citizen Appointment addition, the task force recommends later in this report that Susan Eagle, Citizen Appointment it continues to meet until summer of 2021 and evolve into Shirley Johnson, Citizen Appointment the Jeffco Wildfire Commission. More on this overarching Jason Slowinski, City Manager, City of Golden recommendation in the Next Steps section of this report. Christina Burri, Denver Water Andy Perri, Denver Mountain Parks 4 MITIGATION Forest density is unnaturally high due largely to 100 years of fire suppression, which puts wildland- urban interface communities and watersheds at greater risk for catastrophic wildfire. Mitigating the severity of wildfire means changing fire behavior, which is influenced by the complex interaction of forest fuels, weather and topography. Weather and terrain cannot be manipulated, which means fuel mitigation is our only option. Removing trees and vegetation in an ecologically appropriate manner will lessen the intensity and danger of future wildfire and ensure forest communities are more resilient to fire. The Task Force Mitigation Team has further defined mitigation as two distinct but interacting activities, creating defensible space and addressing larger scale forest management: • Defensible space: the area typically 100 feet around a structure where vegetation, debris and other combustible fuels have been treated or cleared to reduce or slow

  • Some Fire Departments Look at Mergers Due to Volunteer Drop
    Some Fire Departments Look at Mergers Due to Volunteer Drop Volunteer firefighters are being asked to respond to more calls and get more training and many are not sticking around as long as in the past. By Associated Press, Wire Service Content April 5, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. By ALEX ZORN, The Daily Sentinel GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) — Volunteer firefighters have to do more than ever before — more training, expanded responsibilities and an increasing number of calls, and without a salary Adding to that, not many who start as a volunteer firefighter are expected to stick around for very long. “The days of employers letting their employees leave their job to respond on a fire call, on a rescue call, to go battle a wildfire… that doesn’t happen anymore,” Clifton Fire Protection District Chief Charles Balke said. “Employers can’t afford to have their employees be gone for several hours to go intervene in a medical emergency.” Balke first put on his volunteer firefighter hat as a teenager in Arizona, while paying the bills by working as a mechanic and doing landscaping work. He said volunteers and part-time employees spend an average of 3.2 years at the department before moving on. “And that number keeps getting smaller and smaller,” he said. “Volunteers used to stick around for a number of years. Four or five years out of a volunteer or part-timer these days, we come out ahead.” According to the U.S. Fire Administration, 77% of Colorado fire departments are either volunteer-based or mostly volunteer (46% volunteer, 31% mostly volunteer), compared to 23% career-based or mostly career (14% career, 9% mostly career).
